Really? I thought that whole straight edge thing proscribed meat as well? I'm only going from this one time my old band played this straight edge club. It was fine until afterwards when a gang of them gave me funk for eating a KFC. I didn't really want KFC anyway, but it was the only thing available apart from the frankly idiotic cauliflower sandwiches the promoter prepared for us, and I wanted them to emotionally suffer. So I scarfed that filthy greasy shit down and made out like I was enjoying it. Then I pretended to like Dischord artists to get this girl to sleep with me, but apparently you have to "be in love" first, so that didn't work out.

but as I understand it Minor Threat didn't invent Straight Edge, they just sung a song and lots of people took it very seriously and brought in veganism etc. I've only had good experiences with Straight Edge people and have never met any crazy activists.

I somehow doubt they would have 'emotionally suffered' watching you eat KFC.

You should really take some time to listen to the dischord bands who aren't super serious crazy preachy types (ie all of them).
